Tho island of Noumia has what is ac-

entirely of convicts. Its complement
averages about 100 pieces, and the whole

in the Grand opera, who is doing life
time for murder. Twice a week-on
Thursdays and Sundays-the band plays
three hours in the public square, and all

high class, and as, in 1884, Noumia was
the only place in the southern world

Desbarolles, the great palmist, on
looking at Nilsson's hand. said to
her: ''Mademoiselle, you will have
trouble from two causes, fire and
maniacs." Sure enough. During the
Chicago fire she lost $50, 900, and in the
Boston fire 5000, 900. When in New
York a crazy man followed her for 4
week, believing that the words addressed
by Marguerite to Faust were intended
for himself. In Chicago n poor student
decided to marry her, and wrote passion
ate letters, to which he received no an

sleigh, drawn by four horses, to take his

According to a Russian newspaper, an
engineer had Just arrived at Motala, in
Sweden, to take over n steamer that is
being built for the monks of Solovetsk.
This vessel will make the sixth steamer
belonging to the monks, who use them r.
convey to their monastery the 80, 900 pill
grims that annually repair to the place.
The monastery is situated on the largest
Of the three islands forming the Solovetsk
group. The island measures fifteen miles
in length by ten in breadth, and is only
accessible from the middle of May until
the middle of September. During this
period steamers owned by the monks run
regularly to Archangel and back, charg-
ing very little for the double voyage, and,
in the case of very poor pilgrims, nothing
at all. Each pilgrim, moreover, accord
ing to ancient custom, is boarded and
lodged for nothing at an inn belonging to
the monastery. Besides its shrine,
Solovetsk is famous for its mines of tale,
large quantities of which are exported to
Russia and aboard.
A peculiar feature about the Solovetsk
steamers is that they are all manned by
monks and commanded by monastic cap
tains. The mainmast of each steamer is
surmounted by a golden cross. In the
time of Peter the Great the walls of the
monastery were defended by ninety can
non, and during a rebellion against the
government sustained a siege of two
years. During the Crimean war the
monks claim to W driven off the Eng
lisa fleet by firing some of the old cannon
remaining, and marching in procession
round the monastery walls. Although
tho fleet owned by the monk does not
pay expenses, the offerings IF the pill
Grims make up for the loss, the monas-
terry being one of the wealthicst in
Russia. At present the number of
monks exceeds 200.-Chicago Herald,

E, HOWARD McCALEB
In West Feliciana.

We print below extracts from the adj
dress delivered by Hon. E. Howard
McCaleb at Bayou Sara on Sept. p at
the Nichols meeting.
In opening his speech he said:
The gravity of the issues involved in
the present campaign cannot be over
estimated. The utter rout and demon
allzation of the radical party in Louisi-
ana leaves no foe in the field to confront
us. A Democratic nomination is now
equivalent to an election and the con-
test for supremacy has therefore been
transferred from the general to the
primary election. The struggle is
exclusively within the Democratic
fold--a family quarrel, In which we are
called upon to determine who shall be
chief of our household and the standard
bearer of the Democracy. The en-
beavers OF an oligarchy OF ottice-holders
to perpetuate their power by prolonging
the tenure of the chief executive in
open violation of all established prece-
dents and the unwritten law of the land
has sown the seed of dissension in our
ranks, created wel]-founded fears in
the breasts of every right-thinking dis
passionate citizen for the safety of our
republican institutions, which raises
the questions at stake from the sphere
or practical politics to the higher plane
of craftsmanship. Attempts have been
made by the supporters OF the admins
tration to bear down all opposition, to
stitie the utterances of
PUBLIC JOURNALS
advocating the cause of the people
against their rulers, thereby destroying
the liberty of the press, one of the chief
bulwarks of republican institutions
protected by the organic law of the
land. 1t has become high treason in
Louisiana to criticise thu acts of the
powers that be, or to manifest disap-
prevail Of the conduct Of our chief ex-
ecutive, who in the eyes of his fol-
